Not sure how you uninvent nicotine. Couldn't do that, that'd mean no potatoes, tomatoes, aubergines....

I'd uninvent people having 'opinions'.

The thread im pretty sure is about physical inventions, devices etc. greed is not an invention, its nature, wild animals are exceptionally greedy, not unique to humans

There's LOTS of stuff in this thread that aren't inventions. People are taking an easier route and just naming things they don't like...

I feel like the discussion above (car parks as the example) seems to be about giving things a value? I'm not sure life would work if things had no value (and I'm not saying monetary, just a value) No trading services or goods at all?

Tik-Tok
Facebook
Youtube shorts
X, Twitter whatever you wanna call it
Game servers run by the devs
Instagram
Infact all social media.

I had the misfortune of getting those as a substitution recently. Ate one, couldn’t believe how awful it was so had another one to make sure before binning the packet.
